THE DOZEN MASTER
03-22-2015, 04:37 AM
Trying out something new for 2015. This is where we will discuss rules and answer questions as we get this new list off the ground.

The Dirty Dozen Challenge

The Dirty Dozen Challenge is something new and will be a challenge for spot list, similar to Street Outlaws, and separate from The Dirty Dozen ET list. Each of the 12 spots on this list will have to be "challenged" for. There will be no ETs needed to be posted. Just race results. All spots will be run for in a heads-up type format. This list will be open to all makes and models.

1) Run whatcha brung! Any make or model allowed, but must have current registration, tags, and insurance. Tags and registration must match car that is being run. No dealer tags.

2) The Dozen Coordinator - Brian McWhorter, AKA draggin50

There will be a neutral party picked that will be responsible for keeping track of, and being a part of, all challenges. This person will be fair and impartial and will see to that all races are on the up and up. If there is any controversy about a race the Dozen Coordinator's decision will be final.


3) Challenges - The first 2 cars that challenge each other will start out being #1 and #2 respectively. Those cars will have to be challenged and beaten to gain their spots. When the list fills out, any and all spots can be challenged at any time, by any other driver, whether they are on the list at the time or not. There will be no "Gate Keeper" that has to be gone thru to get started on working your way up the list. If you're at #8 and want to take a shot at #1, issue the challenge. If that #8 beats the #1, #8 moves to the #1 spot, the old #1 will move to #2, and the rest of the list will drop down one spot. If someone not on the list goes for any spot on the list and wins, that is now their spot and anything below that spot drops down accordingly. The CHALLENGED racer chooses the track and day of the race. The race should happen within one week of the challenge. If the challenger legitimately cannot make the date/time set by the challenged, then the Dozen Coordinator may need to come in and find a reasonable solution to make sure the race happens. The Challenged racer has lane choice in chosen race. If the Dozen Coordinator has to set up the track and time to make the race happen, then lane choice will be decided by coin toss.

4) The Race - Races will be run heads up. Sportsman tree, Pro tree, whatever the racers can agree on. A redlight is a loss. Crossing the centerline of the track is a loss. There will be no "a chase is a race" or anything like that, if both lanes are green, it's a race. This isn't about who can hustle the best. Races will be run on a local track decided on by the racers. Street races will not count towards the list.

5) Break Rule - There is no "official" break rule, BUT, If you have a catastrophic failure you should probably remove yourself from the list. If you are challenged and cannot make a race due to breakage, you automatically forfeit that race. If you continue to be challenged while broke you will keep dropping spots until you are off the list. Just make it easier all the way around and ask to be removed. When you get car running again you can start challenging for spots again.

Notice there are no rules about post counts, mufflers, windshield wipers, horns, trailers or anything of the like. The rules are deliberately left "open" to allow the greatest amount of participation. You can be a part of The Dirty Dozen ET List and this list as well, if you choose to do so. You don't have to decide whether to be on one or the other. At the end of the season there will be a Dirty Dozen Challenge Shootout. This will not be a mandatory event, but non-participation may result in your dropping many spots or even off the list completely depending on challenges. Anyone can challenge for any spot at the event so it will pay to be there. The Dozen Coordinator will be announced as soon as they are decided upon. We are hoping this list will generate a lot of action, racing, trash talkin', BSing, etc. There may be some type of prize for finishing #1 on the list. Details of this are currently being worked on. This will be announced when it is determined. Lets find out who has the baddest street cars in the area. The list will be set in stone at the conclusion of the local racing season. The spot you hold at the end of this season will be the spot you start off with the following racing season. Lets get out there and and start challenging. Good luck to all.

Thanks to Brian McWhorter, AKA draggin50 for stepping up as The Dozen Coordinator. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/clap.gif I'm sure Brian will do a great job. PM Brian on here for any challenges or call him if you have his number. Make sure you post the challenge in this thread as well.

Still working on a possible prize for this years Top Dog. More to come.

Thanks captain obvious, lol. The original dirty dozen is a challenge, so it just seems sort of redundant to have the DD and the DD challenge. Separating them by name was a good choice. Somebody who knows whats going on, call me.

The DD is for Mustang/Capri Only like always ...
The DD Challenge is for Any Make or Model ...

Are we having the same conversation? I'm talking about the "names" of the 2 lists being almost identical, when last night they were different. I was trying to get to the bottom of why the names have changed since last night.

For the Love of Batman will someone PLEASE call Rick and let him know why the name was changed !!! He's not going to Sleep until he knows !!! LOL

I guess I'm just letting the Dozen Master run things and offer support, And not Question his decisions ...

I can't see anyone confusing the two names ...

For this year and the "Dirty Dozen Challenge List" Ill be the race organizer. If something needs to be set up, get with me through PM or Id be glad to give you a number to call. I get on here daily and will get back with you as soon as I see it. Most of you have my number and have met me before.

I will try to make most of the races as I can but Im sure I wont make them all. Therefore, we will want video's, time slips, witnesses and so on. Remember this is for fun and to try to bring back more people to the site that enjoys the same thing as all the others. Cars, racing and hanging out! Lets get out there this year and have fun! Try to make this site what it once was! There are many people on here willing to step up and take time from their family's to help promote all the things that everyone wanted from the cruise's, hang out, race days, and so on. Lets make the best of it!

I need the block machined and BES and D&D are 5 months backed up. So I might just install the new supercharger and have it retuned.

Id like to see it go a 9.99. Its been 10.62@132 before with the larger wheels, front sway bar, and in the heat. I think with some weight reduction and less rotational weight and cool weather, it will get down in the low 10's. Id like to bump the boost up to around 24lbs and see how it does. All else fails, through a small kit on it and let it eat! Ive already dropped 60 pounds off the front and Im not sure what the rear wheel difference is. Im sure its a pretty good bit.

Im about to have it tuned back on 93 to avoid the problems! It just sucks to lose the power that is available with it and the price. But with me having to drive 25 miles one way to get E85, its almost worth it.

Brian, I ran E85 for 2 years, letting my car sit in an unheated garage the whole time and never had but one issue with the fuel system. That one problem was the filters clogged after running E85 for a while. I cleaned them out and never had another issue. It cleaned grease, hair, oil, and a bunch of unidentified shit out of my tank, lol. Keep checking your filters, especially the pre-filter.

Lol, you guys have WAY too much confidence in me. I didn't say what car I'd have there, just that I had a car to run and get on the list. It's mine, and that's what matters. The coyote is on hold til I get moved and situated, then it's on like donkey kong. I will meet you wherever Shannon. Let me know! Edgewater or KK?

When I was taking the first joy ride on the highway I had a trans coolent line loosened up and lost most of the fluid so I putted it home. I end up getting the line put on and filled it back up but it seems like its slipping. Maybe the clutches are fried who knows. Getting tired of this powerglide.

If all the fluid drained out and you continued to drive it, it probably burnt the clutches up.

I personally think all contenders should post a picture of the car that they will be racing with. I don't know faces and the only car I know is draggin's. I could walk past everyone else standing next to their car 20 times and id never know it was them. At least supply a picture and a brief description?

Sorry we weren't able to include you as racemaster last night. It was a spur of the moment deal and beef and I raced. I didnt care if I won or lost, just racing someone for a reason makes it exciting. I had a blast. Im going to look at why the headlights dont work and check the brakes as to why they locked up in me and see if I can get to edgewater. How about you and I racing next thursday, can you make that happen? Or maybe just race during bracket test and tune on saturday possibly?

So last night Dave and I decided to take the turbo lx out to the track. He had his kids so my wife and I went to the shop and picked it up. I backed it out and parked it then we shuffled cars around to get everything back in the garage. I locked up, set the alarm and we jumped in. Cranked the car over, no start. Wtf? So I crank it and crank it. No avail. So my wife and dave both say it must be out if gas. So determined to prove them both wrong and it was something far more sinister at work, I get some c10 I had in a race fuel can and dumped it in. It started. Shit. I mean great. So off we went to the nearest overpriced hadji station and it dies on the steep incline going into the station, roll it back and get it started on level ground. Get a running start and get in the station. So now I fill it up with premium, 3.29 per gallon, shit! So 30 some odd bucks later we are on our way. Make it on back streets to 35 and head east. Some brake happy mfer slams on their brakes for no reason other than to verify they'd work, which causes me to jam on mine and mine work so well they swerve me towards the barrier and then proceed to stay locked up. So I'm in boost trying to maintain 55 and smoke rolling off the brakes as I go. I finally reach a stopping point and pull to the side. Let the brakes cool, jamb them a couple times sitting and they seem to have released for the moment. At least no thumping and smoke. We proceed on. By 5his time my wife has a similar white knuckle, tight jaw stance she has at the dentist office waiting room. More in a few....

Ok, so we move across 675 and run into the next traffic jamb. Slowly ease on the brakes, and yep, they lock up again. Shit. So I slowly creep forward, turbo spooling as I go 5 mph. Brakes roll smoke as I come to a stop. We pulled into the mazda dealer entrance road, and smoke comes off the front brakes. Stuck. Forgot to mention that the car was running 210 all this time. Fan would come on and shut right back off again. Called dave and my buddy Will. Will works across the street from there at the ford dealer. I asked him to come over and bring a small screwdriver.i sit and wait, eat my sandwich and chips while we wait. Will and dave show up at the same time, and will hands me the screwdriver. I adjust the fan control screw, found that using a magnifier app on her phone, Turned it till the fan came on and then backed it off a touch. After a bit later, I put the car in neutral and was able to push it myself, so I decided to make the drive to kk. Dave followed me. We made it fine, car stayed nice and cool, never over 185. Brakes worked as they had before tonight. So I did what any racer would do, when the guy asked are you racing ir watching? I said racing and paid the man. Wifes jaw dropped. Lol. I didnt go thru all this shit to sit and watch. So waiting in line I see beef in the next row. We get to talking and I called him out. Smooth move. There's always a chance though, right? Right? Yeah right. So we get with the official and he lets us swap around and get in the lanes side by side. I hit the brakes very early as my common sense got in the way. Beef won. I came in second. Literally. Second pass was much faster, built boost on the brake, left hard and picked up .2 on 60ft, but still hit the brakes early, just not at the 1000 ft mark. Lol.

So the list is started, we've got action, lets get this going. Somebody call me or beef out and take our spots!

I say if you got something fast enough to take out the top guy why not take him out..but in all seriousness you would have to go through the 2nd spot first because if you happen to lose to #1 would you go to the 3rd spot?
